Virginia.

Richmond, Nov. 9.-Virginia voted for
members of the state legislature.
All returns indicate that the democrats
have certainly carried Virginia. Senator
Riddleberger's county changed this time
and went democratic: the senator's dissen-
sion with Malone having much to do with
that result. the democrats certainly have
81 out of the 100 members of the house of
delegates and two-thirds of the senate. The
contest in Richmond was the closest in the
state. the democratic majority, which
has been 26OO, was cut down to
only 646. The reform party
which carried the municipal cleo
ton q year ago on local issues,
had much to do with this change, Malone
made desperate fight, as this was the last
chance he had of getting back to the SEN
ate. Nearly all of his former lieutenan s
were either actively working against him
or lukewarm. He had a good organiza-
ton, and spent money literally. Some of
his republican opponents assert that his
name was the only thing that reused the
opposition from their apathy. This indi-
Gates the absolute removal Of Malone as
factor in Virginia politics. There is no
avenue open for him save the congress
ional district of Petersburg, and there are
intimations that he will attempt to reach
congress by this means. Ex-Gov. Cameron
and Ex-Congressmsn Brady, both his eff
clients lieutenants in former contests, are
bitterly against him. The election to-day
is equivalent to the election of ex-Coo-
gresham Barbour to the senate as Riddle
berger's successor.
